More IRS Officials Called Before Congress Over Targeting Scandal

More key players in the controversy over the Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative groups will face lawmakers this week in a case that has triggered a partisan fight over how the agency reviews applicants seeking tax exemption.

The House of Representatives committee looking into IRS practices will question a Cincinnati-based employee who was in charge of examining Tea Party-linked applications and a Washington IRS official who played a role in overseeing her work.

Top officials at the IRS inspector general, an internal watchdog, will also appear, aides said late on Monday.
